The Audio Consultants Musical Event No.3, 17-18 October 2015 - Update

Our next Musical Event No.3 will be held at the Holiday Inn hotel, Winnersh Triangle, Reading on October 17th and 18th. The event will run from 10 am to 5 pm on both days. Entry and parking is free.

The system will principally feature the new German Physiks omnidirectional loudspeakers we now represent. There will be two models to hear: the new Unlimited MkII, and the new HRS-130 recently developed from the HRS-120.

We have found these speakers to work exceptionally well with Edge Electronics and GutWire cables. The International Sales Manager Robert Kelly has remarked how impressed he is with the sound achieved from his speakers with this amplification.

We will be using principally CDs but will also present the new turntable from SME, the Model 15. Visitors will be welcome to bring their own recordings to listen to. The cartridge will be the radically new optical cartridge from DS Audio, model W1. This sounds so natural, and radically different from more usual moving coil or moving magnet designs, and which caused a quite a stir at the National Audio Show 2015.

This particular Holiday Inn is a 4 star hotel and is far more luxurious than any Holiday Inn we have previously seen and recently refurbished to a very high standard. As well as an excellent conference centre, there is an excellent restaurant and bar furnished in a relaxed, contemporary styling that serves a wide range of food, from light snacks to full meals, at reasonable prices.

This Holiday Inn is located in Winnersh Triangle near Reading, a 5-10 minutes’ drive from Junction 10 on the M4, with plenty of parking spaces. Parking will be free. There is a regular rail service from London Paddington towards Reading that takes about 40 minutes. The hotel is less the 300m walk from Winnersh Triangle railway station.

After the success of our sound presented at the National Audio Show 15, we will guarantee you an excellent sound at this event to be enjoyed in a more relaxed and much quieter environment than at other hifi shows.
